Tim & Sarah Wright join as Founding Patrons

We are delighted to welcome Tim and Sarah Wright as the latest philanthropists to become Founding Patrons of the Cancer Awareness Trust. 

Tim and Sarah live in the Cotswolds but both have strong northern roots. Tim is a partner at Compass Partners, an international private equity firm. He has invested in over 20 plus companies in a career spanning over 30 years. Tim and Sarah work together on a variety of philanthropic activities focused on healthcare and social mobility.

Tim and Sarah were introduced to the charity by one of our Trustees, Dr Jane Smit. Tim and Sarah attended our recent event, ‘An Evening with Andy Taylor and Special Guests,’ and heard first hand the impact we are already making, and the impact we’ll make for millions more, once the Cancer Platform launches. This has taken a significant step closer thanks to their generous support.

Sarah Wright commented, “Following our recent introduction we are delighted to become Founding Patrons of Cancer Awareness Trust. Both Tim and I look forward to supporting this unique charity in this crucial sector of cancer healthcare.” 

“I’m greatly touched by the support and generosity of dear friends Tim and Sarah and thrilled that they’re on this journey with us”. Dr Jane Smit, Trustee, Cancer Awareness Trust.

“Philanthropists like Tim and Sarah Wright joining the Cancer Awareness Trust as Founding Patrons gets us a big step closer to launching the Cancer Platform and transforming cancer outcomes for all. I am delighted to welcome Tim and Sarah to the team.“ Founder, Prof. Sir Chris Evans.
